Story behind the song

I was practicing for the Christmas masses this year, and I just so happened to record it. Less the vocal and guitar talents of the rest of the group, this is what "Rock the Glebe" sort of sounds like!

Lyrics

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

cho: Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds deared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savour's birth;

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born;
And God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn
